We can't wait for Echoes of Ireland - get your tickets today!

05/18/2026

Apollo's Fire is ecstatic return to Irish repertoire this summer with a brand new program. In Echoes of Ireland, seven musicians follow the trail of Turlough O’Carolan – the beloved, blind harper who traveled the roads of 18th-century Ireland, playing at weddings and funerals. From heartbreaking laments and ballads to joyous dances, the artists on fiddles, cello, Celtic harp, lute, and vocals bring to life the legends of Ireland. A delight for the young and old!
